One thought on “Who is not eligible for SureSmile aligners?”
Arti says:
SureSmile can be utilized with traditional braces, whether metal or ceramic, lingual (behind the teeth), and now clear aligners. The second factor is age. As the teeth continue to grow during early teenage years, younger patients may not be eligible. Complexity of the problems and resulting treatment is the number one reason a patient may not be eligible. We implemented SureSmile Technology into our regimens more than 18 years ago so that we could more effectively plan and complete orthodontic treatment in less time and with fewer visits. SureSmile Aligners can be used to correct crowded or gapped teeth, and even an overbite, underbite, or crossbite, but depending on the severity it may not be applicable.
